Actually I can relate. My wife and I had arguments about the color so we let our daughter chose the color and she went black! Sigh
I was into Carmona Red with sea blue or stone grey. Slate Grey with Terracotta/black 2tone.
Wife wanted midnight blue with sand (yuck for sand for me).

I say Arctic/Black interior. It's classic and shows off the lines of the car the BEST. Black right now is MORE common than silver ! Silver is also a LOT more easy to clean and does not show the dirt easily so you can spend MORE time driving and LESS time washing/waxing.....SILVER RULES.

BTW, that is the best pic I have seen of the Sea Blue interior. Good job on both the color combo and the interior pic.

So subjective a question, it ultimately does come down to you.
I chose midnight blue to break out of the "silverish" color mode.
First thing people say is they love the color. I have a stone grey full leather interior. It is really sharp, but again, so subjective.
Good luck.

I think I've decided on Midnight Blue. Rationale? I'm not gonna arbitrarily deny myself the color I like, just because I've had it before. I can't help it if I like blue. I'm spending alot of money on my dream car. Don't settle for something less that what you like because of some rule. I'd probably regret not picking it.
NOW - I think I'm going with Stone Grey Full leather (instead of black and beige, which I had before.) Do you have any more pics of this car so I can confirm my choice?
